When is the Jackpot paid out?

  • The Jackpot may only be collected once during a hand.
  • The "Bad Beat" and other players split 70% of the Jackpot- The value of the Jackpot contribution is 0.50 USD. Once the rake has reached 1.00 USD, an additional 0.50 USD is taken for the Bad Beat Progressive.
  • The Jackpot contribution is displayed as a separate rake chip stack, to the right of the normal rake chip stack, on the chip tray.

  • The Bad Beat Jackpot applies to specified tables only. Players must be seated at one of these tables and actively participate in the hand to qualify for any payouts.
  • If the minimum number of players do not participate in the hand, the hand does not qualify for the progressive and the progressive rake is not taken.
  • If there are more than two hands involved in a Bad Beat in a hand, then the two highest hands are considered for the Jackpot. The higher of the two hands is the winning hand and the other hand wins the Bad Beat
  • In the event that two qualifying Jackpot hands occur at the same time, the hand that completed first is awarded the Bad Beat Jackpot.
